By Asher Fair
How did Team Penske’s third victory of the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series season affect the NASCAR Cup Series Team Power Rankings?
Through the first six races of the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series season, the same number of teams have earned at least one victory this year as had earned at least one victory following the season’s second race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, which took place more than one month ago.
Team Penske’s Brad Keselowski won the season’s sixth race, the STP 500, at the four-turn, 0.526-mile (0.847-kilometer) Martinsville Speedway oval in Ridgeway, Virginia, and he won it in dominant fashion. In doing so, he delivered Team Penske their third victory of the season.
Keselowski also won the season’s second race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, and teammate Joey Logano won the season’s third race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
